Share Your Idea Worth Spreading — Without Guesswork, Overwhelm, or Wasting Time

EIGHT weeks. Small group. Massive RESULTS.

Whether you're a professional, entrepreneur, educator, clinician, creator, researcher, or mission-driven leader, you have a message that matters. But becoming a TED or TEDx speaker isn’t intuitive. Most people struggle with:

 

  • Not knowing how to craft a clear TED-worthy idea

  • Overthinking their talk structure or storytelling

  • Not having enough time to create consistent thought leadership content

  • Confusion about what TEDx organizers actually look for

  • Uncertainty around the pitch, application, and selection process

  • A strong message — but no system to package it professionally

The TED Talk Accelerator solves all of this in a proven, streamlined 8-week process.

GET COACHING FROM A TRUE TEDX SPEAKER 

Where Credibility Meets Charisma

Let’s be honest, the speaking world is full of salespeople masquerading as coaches.

They’ve never sweated under stage lights, never delivered a talk that held an audience's rapt attention, and definitely never set foot on that infamous red dot. Yet here they are, teaching wannabe speakers how to “own the stage.” (Insert eye roll here.)

I’m Kelly CochranTEDx Speaker, Keynote Coach, and Branding Badass — and I’ve been a professional speaker since 2018. I’ve helped dozens of leaders shape their stories into big ideas built for the stage, then harness that firepower into branding gold.

This isn’t theory. It’s the real strategy, structure, and stagecraft that get professionals booked, remembered, and paid.

If you want to learn from someone who’s actually been there — who’s done the work, faced the crowd, and earned the standing ovation — you’re in the right place.

Because when you’ve got something to say, you don’t need hype.
You need results.
